`-c`, `--controller`		Controller to operate in
`--client`	false	Client operation
`-f`, `--file`		The YAML file containing credentials to add
`--region`		Cloud region that credential is valid for

Examples¶

juju add-credential google
juju add-credential google --client
juju add-credential google -c mycontroller
juju add-credential aws -f ~/credentials.yaml -c mycontroller
juju add-credential aws -f ~/credentials.yaml

Details¶

The juju add-credential command operates in two modes.

When called with only the <cloud name> argument, juju add-credential will take you through an interactive prompt to add a credential specific to the cloud provider.

Providing the -f <credentials.yaml> option switches to the non-interactive mode. <credentials.yaml> must be a path to a correctly formatted YAML-formatted file.

Sample yaml file shows five credentials being stored against four clouds:

credentials:
  aws:
    <credential-name>:
      auth-type: access-key
      access-key: <key>
      secret-key: <key>
  azure:
    <credential-name>:
      auth-type: service-principal-secret
      application-id: <uuid>
      application-password: <password>
      subscription-id: <uuid>
  lxd:
    <credential-a>:
      auth-type: interactive
      trust-password: <password>
    <credential-b>:
      auth-type: interactive
      trust-password: <password>
  google:
    <credential-name>:
      auth-type: oauth2
      project-id: <project-id>
      private-key: <private-key>
      client-email: <email>
      client-id: <client-id>

The <credential-name> parameter of each credential is arbitrary, but must be unique within each <cloud-name>. This allows each cloud to store multiple credentials.

The format for a credential is cloud-specific. Thus, it’s best to use ‘add-credential’ command in an interactive mode. This will result in adding this new credential locally and / or uploading it to a controller in a correct format for the desired cloud.

Notes: If you are setting up Juju for the first time, consider running juju autoload-credentials. This may allow you to skip adding credentials manually.

This command does not set default regions nor default credentials for the cloud. The commands juju default-region and juju default-credential provide that functionality.

Use –controller option to upload a credential to a controller.

Use –client option to add a credential to the current client.
